Variable Z: A Comprehensive Full-Stack E-Commerce Web Application

About this Project

Variable Z is a full-stack e-commerce web application developed using Next.js and a custom Express server. This project, developed solely by me over the course of two years, aims to deliver a fully functional e-commerce platform from scratch, offering seamless online shopping experiences with cutting-edge web technologies.

The application supports both physical and digital products, ensuring secure authentication for digital goods upon purchase. It also includes features for offering free and promotional products.

This project incorporates robust data handling and security measures using MongoDB, JSON Web Tokens (jsonwebtoken), and bcrypt.js. It integrates popular services such as Google Login, PayPal, and Stripe (including Apple Pay and Google Pay) for secure and versatile payment options. Additionally, Nodemailer is used to automate email services for order confirmations, support requests, and password resets.

An easy-to-use admin interface is provided for managing orders, support tickets, product edits, custom categories, and more.

The code for this project is hosted in a private repository. If you are interested in discussing this project further, please feel free to reach out to me.
